RSL-AZ RETURN TO PLAY GUIDELINES

Phase 1: Individual Training

Arizona Soccer Member organizations are permitted to offer individual, non-contact training sessions at the team level for groups of thirty (30) individuals or less, including coaches, adult assistant(s), parents, and players. RSL AZ will be utilizing safety coordinators at each training site to ensure proper protocols. RSL AZ is asking that during phase one parents remain in their cars or drop their children off for training. This will increase the amount of space around the fields for social distancing. There will be 15 minutes between training sessions. Players are not allowed on the field until 5 minutes before the session. This allows players in the previous session to depart before the next training group arrives. Coaches are not permitted to go over the allotted one hour training time, this will help ensure the training group will have departed before the next arrives.
